And definitly anyone whose passion for music drives them to create some change for the better.
I'm originally from Athens, Ohio, one of the greatest places on earth. But I have moved all over. I lived in Philly for 5 yrs, Orlando for a year, Jersey, Big Sky, Montana, Manhattan and Ithaca, NY, and now i'm back in The Illadel. I' ve been playing music since I was 10. I have performed all genres. These songs are from a time mostly spent in Ithaca. Recently my music has been evolving into my own creation. Its just been me and my guitar for a while, and now that i've got my own band together we're tryin to blend Funk, Hip-Hop and Soul. We've been laying down some tracks that will catch a lot of people off guard but keep 'em coming back for more. Stay on the look out for The Emerson B* Krew. I wanna say that nothing but love goes out to the people of Athens for always being Real from day 1 in my life. And to my boyz (you know who you are), Live True and keep spreadin the Good Medicine. Also a big shout to Filfy and Alt. from the late Rare Faction, and my peoples Thousands of One, Jsan and the Analouge Sons, all the CYPH.DIS cats, and everyone else in Ithaca showin support and love for my music! Thanx
